Cardiac pathology and systolic murmurs in the elderly.
Systolic murmurs are often noted in elderly patients admitted to hospital (Monroe, 1951). They tend to be dismissed as of no clinical significance and due to aortic sclerosis (Bruns and Van der Hauwaert, 1958); rarely is origin from other valves considered. However, observations during earlier studies on other aspects of cardiovascular pathology in the aged (Pomerance, 1965, 1967) did not seem ...
متن کاملThe incidence and significance of systolic cardiac murmurs in infants.
In the course of carrying out routine physical examinations on newborn babies, certain infants were found who presented loud systolic cardiac murmurs in the absence of other abnormal physical signs. The significance of such a finding was doubtful, but the murmur in many cases was so loud as to suggest the possibility of congenital heart disease. An investigation was therefore carried out to ass...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiography in elderly patients with ejection systolic murmurs.
Thirty-nine elderly patients, mean age 77 years (range 65 to 96), with ejection systolic murmurs were studied to evaluate the functional significance of these murmurs. Subjects were evaluated clinically, by 2-D echocardiography, and by a full Doppler echocardiography study. Good quality Doppler signals were obtained in 35 subjects.
